Paul Pogba scored twice while Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku also netted to stun Bournemouth.

And Solskjaer is only the THIRD United boss in history to win his first three games in charge.

He roared: "We want to go attacking. We’ve been at home two games and have to entertain the crowd.

"You have good players, they want to learn, improve — I just want to do my bit.

"That’s what the fans want to see and the players are enjoying themselves."

Norwegian Ole is looking forward to working with hitman Lukaku.

The Belgian powerhouse missed two games due to compassionate leave — but scored two minutes after coming on as a sub.

Ex-striker Solskjaer said: “Romelu’s a good target man.

"He’s got the attributes of a top, top striker.

"We need to work on his fitness but I am delighted."

The only downside for United was a second-half red card for Eric Bailly after a wild challenge on Ryan Fraser.

It means United could be down to just TWO fit centre-halves for games against Newcastle and Tottenham in the league and an FA Cup tie with Reading.

Solskjaer, who has seen United thump Cardiff 5-1 and Huddersfield 3-1, said: "Eric knows that he has mistimed that one.

"Maybe he was excited that he’s playing again — but no complaints."

Bournemouth lost for a ninth time in 11 matches in all competitions but boss Eddie Howe refuses to hit the panic button.

He said: "We’ve been through a tough period.

"We’ve had injuries and when you lose games, confidence is affected."

The Cherries felt they should have had a penalty early in the second half for a challenge by Bailly on Charlie Daniels.

That could have put them back in the game.

And Howe admitted: "I have been told that it was possibly a penalty."
